As of 31 March 2013, 1.4% (12,514) of Scotland's children were subject to a supervision requirement (now known as a compulsory supervision order). As of 24 June 2013, Children's Hearings Scotland took over the running of thirty two local authority panels to have one national children's panel for Scotland with approximately 2,700 volunteers supported by 22 area support teams.
